Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage and current rating of the SOL-230?
A: The SOL-230 is rated for 12VDC continuous-duty coil with a control circuit current rating of up to 100A. It is designed for intermittent duty operation with a maximum of 30 cycles per cycle period, making it suitable for on-demand lift truck control applications.
Q: What terminal configuration does the SOL-230 use?
A: The SOL-230 uses threaded stud terminals in 1/4 inch-20 UNC specification. This connector type allows secure mechanical fastening to circuit boards or harnesses, reducing vibration-related loosening in lift truck environments.
Q: What materials does the SOL-230 solenoid contain?
A: The SOL-230 features a steel housing, brass terminals, and a magnetic stainless steel plunger. The stainless steel plunger resists corrosion in humid or wet environments, while brass terminals provide good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the SOL-230?
A: The SOL-230 has cross-reference part numbers INSOL-230-ORG and SOL-230-ORG. Verify compatibility with your specific lift truck model and control system before ordering, as cross-reference numbers may vary by manufacturer.
Q: What is the difference between continuous-duty coil rating and intermittent operation for the SOL-230?
A: The coil is rated for continuous 12VDC supply, but the solenoid itself operates intermittently up to 30 cycles per period. This means the coil can remain energized continuously, but the mechanical actuation cycles are limited to maintain thermal performance and component longevity.
